guenther journey: Our Easter

Okay, here are our pictures from Easter! They are in backwards order so you will have to progress with them in the wrong order, but that is the way blogger uploads and I can never remember the right way to do it!! It's annoying. Anyway, we had a good Easter with family and friends! We went to Hebron/Ruskin/Fairbury the weekend before Easter (Palm Sunday) and stayed with Dan in Hebron on Saturday night and then went to church in Ruskin on Sunday. From there we headed to Fairbury for lunch at my Grandma Marlene's with my Dad, Zoya, and Irina. My sister, Ashley, was also there for all of this.
Then, on Easter weekend we had family come to NP. My Aunt Shari, Aunt Lori & Uncle Scott, Cousin Josh, Megan, & Madison, and my sister. The Deaver family came over for Easter lunch. We had a great time! Saturday we just hung out, played outside, grilled steaks, watched Gradyn and Madison open Easter baskets, and chatted. Sunday we all went to church, made lunch, watched Madison and Gradyn open MORE Easter baskets, and played outside and chatted some more!

Gradyn ended up getting 4 Easter Baskets! He was a little spoiled!! Not including the one he got from Doreen at daycare!

So, in backwards fashion.....the Pictures from the Easter Festivities!

Jackson trying to eat while Gradyn and Patrick are eating off of his tray! The dangers of eating low to the ground!!

Madison made it up to the top of the slide! She finally got time to play on it between all of those boys!!

Gradyn loves his new book "Old McDonald" Thanks Aunt Shari! It HAS to be sung to him or he knows that isn't right!!

Attempting to get a picture of Gradyn and Madison together is pretty much impossible!

My precious little boy!

Hey! Footballs don't go in here!

Dominic and his new water gun!

Madison and one of her Easter baskets!

As you will see from some of the pictures below, Gradyn was NOT happy for much of Easter morning. He missed his morning nap due to being at church and then with all of the commotion at home with all the people there he would not sleep after church. So, I was not able to get a very good picture of him in his Easter outfit. AND, we forgot to get Madison and Gradyn together in their Easter outfits for a picture! Not that we would have been able to get a good one anyway..... We'll have to remember next year!
